Website Release History

Version 1.7.2 May 31, 2017

In a previous update we added international phone number support since we've introduced the ability to add SMS numbers and wanted to display an indicator as to what the phone number format should look like based on the selected country. However this caused confusion, as the new phone input fields showed an example number. While this number is not actually text and disappears as soon as you type in the field, it looked like a real number to many and thus caused concern.

To avoid any further confusion, we have removed the example numbers from all phone input fields. We apologize for causing any confusion. Sometimes in the web world, new features actually cause users problems instead of intended benefits. :-(

Version 1.7.0 May 29, 2017

We're introducing an update to give you more ways to get notified about items listed on our site.

My Alerts

When you are logged into your customer account and search the site using the Shop By Department, Shop By Scale, Shop By Category or Shop By Road menus or the Text Search, you will see a new button
Clicking this button will add the search to your My Alerts page, which has been expanded to help you manage both your single model and the new search alerts.NOTE: We highly suggest you avoid adding broad searches, like HO Scale, or Brass Model Trains, as you will get MANY notifications throughout the day! Instead use the dropdown filters to further narrow your search before clicking thebutton to add your search.

My Communication Preferences

We've added a new menu item to My Account to allow you to register additional contact methods such as phone numbers for receiving SMS messages on your phone.

We automatically include your primary e-mail address. To register additional contact methods, simply click the appropriate button to specify a new e-mail address or SMS number.

After you enter your phone number or e-mail address, click Add and you will be sent a verification code to the contact method you are registering.

Once you receive your code, enter it and then click Verify. Your new contact method will now be registered.

The next step is to choose which notifications you would like this new contact method to receive. (Currently you can only subscribe to My Alerts, but we will be adding additional notification types in the future)

Click the blue button to select the notification types you would like to receive:
Then check any notifications in the popup window you would like to subscribe to:

If you decide that you no longer want to receive certain notifications for a particular contact method, simply click the blue button and then uncheck any notifications and save. You may also delete your contact method entirely by clicking the red trash button, however your primary registered e-mail address cannot be deleted.

We hope you find these new features useful, but as always, feel free to send us feedback!

Version 1.6.0 May 15, 2017

We've made some big enhancements to the Brass Guide My Collection feature for collectors who wanted more control over managing their list of personally owned models. Now you have the ability to:

Download your collection with the same sort and filter criteria applied so you can create separate reports of your items however you choose

We hope you find these ehancements useful, but as always, if you have suggestions for further enahancements, please let us know by sending a message via our contact us form and select Site Feedback as the topic.

Version 1.5 April 26, 2017

We've added a new video section to organize all of the BRASSTRAINS.COM videos, including Monday Morning Express, all viewable from within BRASSTRAINS.COM with no need to go to a different website.

You can access the video section from our Quick Navigation menu found on the left side of each page.
